File manager with gesture controls

Controlling a computer with freehand gestures alone is quite different from using mice or touchscreens. Leander is a file manager which explores new interaction methods for gestural input using the Leap Motion gesture controller. The application supports navigating the directory tree, opening files, copying and pasting as well as deleting files and folders using only hand motions and gestures. The software is built upon web technology.
